Mbiwa doesnt look like ready for EPL yet

I think he played well, show some good control and vision. That pass to Shola was class.

Cockney Mafia out surely?

I feel the opposite. He seems like destined to be sacked during the end of this season, and that's why the players are having that "I don't care anymore" attitude.

well done willo

what are the players doing there?

Definitely not Santon's fault. Gouffran should be there to cover.

Does Hatem just storm away and left that stadium?

What s Gouffran doing there, just standing still and waiting for the whistle FFS?

I don't think it is wise to dribble there Hatem....

No manager has done it so far in HBA's career, to be fair to Pardew.

Aye, at least there is some power. Looks miles better than Adam Campbell.

He looks a bit complacent.

He is a perfect partner for Tiote and is an excellent CM. I do understand what Ronaldo means though, Anita does not have the scoring ability like Cabaye and we couldn't rely on him to score. He is a CM under 442, and should be playing behind 2 strikers.

I feel like finally having 11 players on the pitch.

De Jong makes a huge difference to our play.

we paid 28.7m on transfers last year? how?

yea i mean just stay away until they are gone. i dont think it worths spending time and money reading shit quotes and watch shit matches.

i honestly wonder why dont some of you just stop supporting Newcastle and stay away from anything related to this club when there is so much hatred towards the personnel currently managing the club? i dont think it is enjoyable to read those quotes? Geniuine question.

cursed

i honestly don't think it is an easy task for a manager to utilize a player that does not fit into his style of football., just like how Viana was wasted under SBR. Obviously the majority here don't think it is a difficult one, and believe that a "better" manager must be able to bring the best out from all the players. my genuine question is, say if we got Bielsa, the club told him that currently Hatem is the only option and not prepared to buy players he wants that suit his 343, and as a result Bielsa failed to improve our results, whats your take then? Support Bielsa to have more say on transfer based on his record in the past, or trust Carr more because Bielsa failed to bring the best out of the current group and getting a less than decent results?

Errrr.. yes. Ozil's fairly quick but he's a poor athlete. His stamina is clearly lacking. Physically and work-rate wise he's no better than Mata. I do think Mou values athleticism and work rate more in the PL as his Madrid side included Cronaldo and Ozil who had little defensive responsibility. Alright, agree with that then. But like what you say, it is probably personal problems instead of tactical. Mata's case actually reminds me Casillas.

In the end we need players like Cabaye to keep us in top 10 and attract more players. Therefore we still need to buy the next Cabaye, for a cut price deal, train him up and sell for 15m+ 2-3 years later, on and on. The whole model requires Carr to spot the talents, JFK to complete the deal and Pardew to incorporate the player. And now it is obviously JFK's part who fucked up massively (Pardew as well but no where near JFK). It could be the Douglas deal, it could be Cabella, it could be Grenier. To Ashley a player recommended by Carr as a potential star, available for a relatively low price, is like a 10m+ profit, and failure in bringing them here means evaporated profits, lower league position and probably lower ST now. It is a massive fucked up and I would not be surprised that Ashely really axe him for lack of signings.

Wait a fucking minute. Ozil has no engine? You serious?

i honestly think it is because he fucked up two transfer windows. the key strategy for our transfer policy is to buy low sell high, and if kinnear fucked up the incomings he cant sell the player on a high. that would be against his interest.
